Be careful to read warning, terms, rules

[NONO]

The following is an example.
Yes, it is a default setting & can be changed during setup process.

No matter what statements providers say, that's not the key point.
The KEY POINT of what I mean is:
Don't lost any rules/warning/terms from your host providers,
It will avoid missing & violating their rules.
Otherwise if in case of they think that you violated the rules,
then maybe will make your account deleted.

i.e. maybe receive a message said 'you had "violated their service and
terms"' , or any "hidden-cost fees"...., etc.

So, Be Careful to read all details of terms, warning, or rules before &
during you signup, including the HIDDEN messages in HTML file. ^^

ho ho ho ... Don't you understand? ^^;;
The sentences are shown on page, of course you can read it.
(
Besides, this is a common requirement, most host say it too.
"you must be at least 18 years old to sign up" is not equal to the above "Warning: ....", "Note that... "
They require it, that's right.
"18 years old" is just legal age. Shopping websites need to ask you're over legal age too. Driving License too.

The focus is not the appointed host, the focus is hidden messages on any host, got it? :)
How do you know what messages are hidden?
